    Summary

    “Fucking look at this shit,” Hayden pulls a rectangular object from the box, pointing it in Shane’s direction so he can clearly see the picture on the cover of the PlayStation game in his hands.

    And now Shane is absolutely having some sort of panic-and-pheromone-induced fever dream, because why the fuck is he looking at Ilya Rozanov’s face, scowling at him right then and there in front of God, the Boston seaport that’s visible outside the hotel window, and his best friend Hayden Pike?!

    “Whoever these fans are, they aren’t ones of yours,” Hayden sighs as if he’s actually disappointed in this mystery gift-giver. 

    “I - I don’t think I’ve seen this one,” Shane stammers out, his eyes still pinned on Ilya’s form in 4k HD photo relief grasped in Hayden’s fingertips - fingertips that Shane is suddenly, unreasonably, and very concerningly jealous of. 

    ***

    or - how Shane ended up owning that video game with Ilya's face on the cover, and what it meant to him over the years.

    Summary

    This thing that they have—whatever the hell it is—it’s good. It’s easy. It feels like the only thing keeping Ilya afloat sometimes.

    He can’t let it get to a place where it’s more than just a good, convenient fuck and some fun teasing in between. Even if sometimes, in brief moments of tenderness, it already feels like it’s more than that. Or at least like it’s something that can be, if they just let it.

    But they don’t. They can’t.

    Although sometimes, Ilya does find himself giving in to the urge to look at Shane just a little bit longer, to let his touch be just a little bit gentler, more reverent, than what it would be for something as casual as they claim this to be—albeit sparingly.

    Sometimes, just for a moment, he lets himself indulge. He lets some of that affection bleed out of him because he feels like he’ll implode if he doesn’t.

    But he always catches himself before it can linger.
